Good Reference rating

This book is organized like a dictionary/encyclopedia, so it lends itself to use as a reference book or bathroom reading material. I find myself referring others to sections to help them understand the details of the Tour.
Les provides his bit of journalistically-opinionated spice to the people and aspects that make the Tour-de-France what it was and is.
It gets four out of five stars because it is now several years old, so it lacks the most recent drama of The Tour.
